In Paris August 4, 2012

Mikhail Baryshnikov stars in a moving story of exile and love directed by Dmitry Krymov. Adapted by Krymov himself from the 1940 Russian novella by Nobel laureate Ivan Bunin, 'In Pari's is the tale of two Russian immigrants - he, a former general of the White Army; she, a beautiful woman, by many years his junior - who meet by chance in Paris in the 1930s. Baryshnikov is joined by Russian actress Anna Sinyakina, along with a talented ensemble. Designed in black and white with giant photographs that serve as both scenery and props, amid which the ensemble performs the original musical score, Krymov's staging creates a dynamic setting for a haunting piece of poetic theater. The performance is in Russian and French with English supertitles.
